June 4, 2017 was a special time at Denton Unitarian Universalist Fellowship! During each service, we presented and dedicated our beautiful, new banner that was created by Hope Edwards. We recognized youth and adults for their leadership and for living out exemplary values. We recognized high school and college graduates. We recognized rising 2nd graders, rising 6th graders, and rising 9th graders who bridged to the next DUUF class. We thanked our volunteer teachers. We installed our 2017/2018 Board of Trustees. We celebrated flower communion (on the 95th anniversary of flower communion). And we sang, danced, and shared stories. It was a full day! Following is a list of some of the folks we recognized and photos from the day.
